ABSTRACT:
A ducted fan gas turbine engine (10) is provided with an electric motor starter unit (16). The oil lubrication system of the engine (10) is so arranged that during engine starting, the heat generated by the starter unit (16) is used to heat up the oil in the system. This reduces the viscosity of the oil, thereby facilitating easy engine starting under very cold conditions.
